Title: Bilstein suspension
Post by: Mitch H on April 26, 2015, 07:01:12 pm

B12 kit with what springs?!
Or b14 coilovers?

Looking for a nice stance (not slammed to the floor)
Better handling as going r tech stage 2 next month

Also should I look at getting better top mounts? Think I read somewhere about rs3 mounts?

B14 coilovers are highly rated, and because of the narrower springs on coilovers, dialing more stance is easier. I run them and dropped all the way to 50mm they're spot on. As for top mounts, yes, get the kit:

Really don't know wether to go with coilies or not I think will in end anyway it's just the extra initial cost!
Anybody recommend change arbs? Front or rear or both?
Also what alk kit or just tt console bushes?

Thanks for any advice need to sort the handling as I'm ringing r tech this week to book in for my map :D
